Woke up in the dark with a chill
Had a nightmare that could kill
Realize it was just a terrifying dream
I was still breathing... no need to scream
Feet on the floor ready to begin the day
Feeling disorientated... my cat wants to play
Nearly fell down... but I caught a grip
The kitty is quite well, luckily I didn't trip
A stack of monthly bills sits and waits
Arranging priorities by oncoming dates
Writing checks with the balance decreasing
A plus remains... optimism is increasing
Have errands to do before seeing the doctor
Brakes screech... nearly needed a defibrillator
Why didn't I take the time to double check
Pulled out into traffic... almost got in a wreck
Made a mental note to be more careful
Hopefully a lesson learned... being prayerful
Dinnertime is near... too numb to cook today
Off to the drive-thru to get a fish fillet
As I look back on a day I could call bad
I erase the frightful feelings that I had
Dreaded thoughts that dominated my brain
Have subsided... I guess I can't complain
